I have 2

Freda wrapped a piece of string around her thumb while we were driving around the the day. I noticed and told her to take it off and that she knew not to tie things to her body. "That can really hurt your thumb, in fact, it could fall off!" I said. In the rear view mirror i watched her contemplating her thumb.

"Think of all the things you could never do if you had no thumb" I ponder.

"I could not pick things up." she says.

"Nope. And you would not be able to eat" i say.

"You couldn't fly a kite or tie your shoes or draw..."

After a few minutes of brainstorming, she gets quiet before saying, "It's okay poppy, I have another one!" waving her other thumb in the air.
